"There are a lot of casual sushi spots around the city, but none of them are as consistently good as Tomo. This Old City spot serves excellent sushi, whether that's spicy salmon inari, the red shrimp roll, packed with shrimp tempura and spicy tuna, or the 16 vegan rolls that use everything from fried onions to saucy zucchini. They also have some great lunch specials, including $18-and-under rolls and vegan bowls full of "tuna" and pickled vegetables. Plus, we really like their ramen." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"It’s not always easy to find exciting vegan sushi options, but the Old City restaurant has the goods with vegan rolls featuring ingredients like eel made out of eggplant and tuna made of marinated tomato. The BYOB spot also serves vegan mochi and a popular ramen filled with savory ingredients like seitan teriyaki and black fungus mushrooms." - Nadia Chaudhury
"It’s not always easy to find exciting vegan sushi options, but Tomo has the goods with an entire menu of vegan rolls that feature ingredients like eel made out of eggplant and tuna made of marinated tomato. The Old City BYOB also serves vegan mochi and a popular plant-based ramen filled with savory ingredients like seitan teriyaki and black fungus mushrooms." - Ernest Owens, Grace Dickinson
"Tomo makes great sushi and they have an especially impressive selection of vegan rolls. But it's the ramen that makes this BYOB a standout in the neighborhood. The tonkotsu is the perfect cloudy soup for every cloudy day. The rich, creamy broth comes topped with bamboo shoots, scallions, red ginger, and some notably tender pork belly. The latter is what you'll be thinking about after you leave. " - candis mclean, alison kessler
